Shadow Creatures

Verse 1

Door swingin', chillin', left ajar

Footsteps heavy, house gapes wide

Broken boards breaking bones beneath

Candles flicker out, nothing left for pride

Hungry air, it breathe my name

Breathless silence sink into my skin

Hissin' whispers, want my fear

Rusted chain rattle warning within

Chorus

Shadow creatures, crawl in the corners

They watching, they watching, they watching

Dark eyes in the shape of sorrow

They hauntin', they haunting, they haunting

Post-Chorus

Low moan, stone cold, don't go

Low moan, stone cold, don't go

Verse 2

I step, I stagger, floor creaks, I freeze

Window smashed, wind call out

Not alone, feel the squeeze

Spider-slick touch, from up above, they come down

Fingers, fangs, flicker in a crack

Hollow laughter choking the space

Rotten rafters, rats in the black

Why me, why now, gone without a trace

Chorus

Shadow creatures, crawl in the corners

They watching, they watching, they watching

Dark eyes in the shape of sorrow

They hauntin', they haunting, they haunting

Post-Chorus

Low moan, stone cold, don't go

Low moan, stone cold, don't go

[Bridge] (Jamaican patois vocals + backing)

Mi nah linger, mi cyaan run

Creepy crawlers a come, a come

Mi seh dem shadow deep like drum

Mi nah fear, mi just move on

Dem cackle, dem scatter, mi heart nah done

Verse 3

Basement breath pulling me through

Stale secrets behind every wall

Start to sweat, start to shake (breathe slow)

Check behind, but nothing at all

Listen, listen, claw scrape, slow tick

Dirt dream, nightmare crawl

Stayin' still, but the fear move quick

Abandon hope, abandon light, lose it all

Chorus

Shadow creatures, crawl in the corners

They watching, they watching, they watching

Dark eyes in the shape of sorrow

They hauntin', they haunting, they haunting

Post-Chorus

Low moan, stone cold, don't go

Low moan, stone cold, don't go
